Hunting is the art of tracking and capturing prey. In the Hunter skill you will encounter many different methods for capturing many different types of animals. These range from simple bird snares and noose wands all the way up to hunting with falcons and imp catching.
To capture all of the hunter creatures, you will visit many different locations. You will see them referenced multiple times in this guide, so it may be good to familiarize yourself with their locations. For quick access to detailed maps of each hunting region, visit the Special Maps page in our Atlas.
Tracking
In tracking you use a noose wand, to capture the prey that you have tracked. With your noose wand equipped, travel to the region of the animal you want to trap and find a burrow. Follow the footprints and search around where they end to make the next set appear. After doing this for a while you will get a message saying that you suspect that there is an animal. Attack what you searched and you will catch the animal and receive the drops. Beware, if you attack the wrong bush you could end up with a smelly pair of old boots.
Bird Hunting
If tracking small critters just isn’t your cup of tea, you can capture birds using bird snares, 6GP at any of the Hunter shops. Set your bird snare below where the birds are flying, then walk around 5 steps away and wait for a bird to land on it. When the bird perches, it will either get caught, or trip your snare and fly away. If the bird escapes, you will notice that the perch has fallen to ground level; take down the snare and reset it. Sometimes, no bird will be attracted to the snare, and it will eventually fall to the ground of its own accord. Should this happen, right click the snare to reset it.

Treat Every Gun Like It Is Loaded
Unloaded or not, treat every gun like its ready to fire. Don’t point guns at anything you are not willing to shoot. Store your guns properly when they are o’t in use and make sure they are not accessible to children. Gun safety is an essential part of hunting safely.
Never Hunt Alone
Even when you’re careful, hunting accidents can still happen. Never hunt alone. Find someone who shares your passion and go out in a group. This way you’ll have someone to help should something go wrong and you’ll have the pleasure of good company on your trip.
When it comes to hunting your number one rule should always be SAFETY. May you have many safe and happy hunts this year.
Be Prepared
Ideally every hunting trip would go as planned, but when you’re dealing with nature this isn’t always the case. Prepare for the unexpected. Take along extra food and water, preferably enough to last for a few days. You may also want to carry other survival essentials in your hunting pack like a whistle, knife, flashlight, matches, rope and even some rudimentary shelter.
